There are no more breaks in the music industry, especially in the streets. During the holiday season, cats were either dropping mixtapes or hyping up releases that are soon to come. Fab, don't worry. We're not gonna sweat you over not dropping on Christmas as promised. As long as you bring that Loso quality, we'll wait. Lupe and DJ Absolut coming soon? We're definitely anticipating that one, as well as Jay Electronica's new tape. Is there anything out right now as dope as "Exhibit C"? Styles P and Green Lantern coming next month? Young Jeezy promising to come any day now? 2010 is going to be a nutty first quarter, and that's just on the streets. In any event, here is a special edition of Don't Sleep, where...

After leaving Columbia Records, Bow Wow joins Birdman's record label, Cash Money where several hottest music talents Lil Wayne, Drake and Jay Sean are currently signed under. The young rapper confirms the matter on his Twitter, "I'm officially the newest member to the Cash Money team!"
Recalling how he ends up sealing a deal with the company, Bow Wow tells MTV, "We had two sit-downs." He explains more, "Upon the first sit-down, I called [co-ceo Birdman] and told him what I wanted to do. So it was a no-brainer. He was like, 'Bow, you always been family. Next to Wayne, I look at you like my son. If you not with Jd [Jermaine Dupri], you with us.' From there, it was a done deal. So I wanna thank [him], Slim and Wayne."
Though he has now found a new home to release a studio project, Bow Wow says he is "in no rush to drop [his] next album.

Bow Wow took to UStream and Twitter on Sunday night to make the big announcement he'd been teasing his fans with for some time: "It's official, I'm a Cash Money Millionaire," he told his thousands of viewers and followers.
The rapper had parted ways with his longtime label, Columbia Records, earlier this year. In previous Twitter dispatches, he explained he was deciding between two recording options: T.I.'s Grand Hustle camp through Atlantic Records or relaunching So So Def when Jermaine Dupri signed a new deal.

The story from first-time scribe Abdul Williams follows Bow (guess that constitutes his first name) as a young man living in a bad neighborhood who has to survive 3 days of holding on to a winning lottery ticket. Ice plays a former boxer who helps the poor winner out. Things definitely stay in-house with the project...
